Havana, March 22 (KCNA) -- The Cuban Foreign Ministry in a statement issued on Sunday condemned foreign forces for their armed intervention in Libya.

The statement accused Western powers of creating conditions for invading Libya by pressurizing the UN Security Council, adding that this act of aggression is a violation of the UN Charter and the authority of the UNSC.

The Western countries' military attack on Libya is causing casualties among innocent civilians and bringing sufferings to them, the statement noted, demanding that the dispute be settled through dialogue and negotiations, not by force of arms.
